Jamaica is under a tropical storm watch and storm conditions pose a threat within 48 hours.

Potential Tropical Cyclone 15 is currently about 154miles Southeast of Kingston and is moving west at 12mph, it is also forecasted to become a Tropical Storm later today.

Storm conditions are expected to affect mostly southern parishes as the system moves West today to tomorrow.

Watch out for flooding and landslides! 2 to 4 inches of rainfall possibly more is forecasted with gusty winds.

The next name on the list for this system is Lisa.


Stay safe!

The hurricane season is not done yet,

A low pressure system currently south of Haiti and heading West to West NorthWest is producing showers and thunderstorms and a tropical depression could form in the next couple of days.

Flooding is possible as this system moves closer to Jamaica.

This system will most likely affect Southern Parishes with rainfall, some winds and thunderstorms in the first part of the week.

We are hoping it stays a disturbance while it passes Jamaica.

Be safe!

Here in Kingston we have been receiving some squally weather from the outer bands of Tropical Storm Ian. As a result there is a flash flood warning in effect for the area. There has been some thunder and lightning throughout the day. 
All in all nothing too bad.

Since Ian has moved more to the West, we are expecting mostly showers and thunderstorms and less winds.

Tropical Depression Nine will now be named Ian.

The name Hermine has been taken by a new storm that has formed near Africa.

Jamaica is now under a Tropical Storm watch, which means Tropical Storm conditions are possible within 48hrs.

A hurricane watch has also been issued for the Cayman Islands.

Tropical Depression Nine is being hampered by some upper level winds, it will move out of that area soon for it to be able to strengthen and become a Tropical Storm.

Be safe!
